Losing Zach Brown would definitely be a bummer.
But IF the DLine stays healthy and produces, I wouldn't worry too much about Foster and Vigil doing the job at ILB.

Now if Hamilton has to play we're in trouble. He's NOT ready.

Hamilton wouldn't be active ...but could you imagine if Apke had to play safety?

Right now that would kill us. Maybe later in the season he improves his tackling and uses the physical abilities we've seen flashes of to make plays.

My goal that I will fail miserably at is to not cuss in anger on this board.

If they showed Adams wife in the stands every quarter, It might be worth letting him play.

Either people are seriously underselling the Skins or overselling the Cards. I'm going with the latter.

They have one of the best backs in the league in Johnson, and they have Fitz who is always reliable.

But outside of that their OL is trash and their best lineman is on IR, their QB is made of glass, and probably most important to note they have a new coaching staff. What am I missing here? Why all the pessimism?

Redskins

[skinsfan69]

I have pessimism cause we barely beat them last year at home, could have easily lost and they literally had no NFL QB on their roster and no David Johnson. This is just the kind of game where Gruden just can't seem to get over the hump. Hope I'm wrong but until I see otherwise I think the Cards win this in a close game.

I would also not underestimate China Doll. If they protect him he is as good as anyone. Really want to see Allen & Payne and co get after him.

I need a little more substance. The Cards aren't anything to be afraid of. I don't see many categories where I'd give them a strong edge.

QB - Skins
RB - Cards
WR- I'll give it to them just because of Fitz
TE- Skins
OL- Skins
DL- Skins
LB - Skins
DB - Slight edge to them because of Peterson
Coaching staff - Skins

I totally agree with what your saying. But you asked why the pessimism...its the Redskins. The intangible that cant be stated. I get it why there is pessimism, even if I don't agree with it. Skins should win.

Skins D dominates and Redskins win, fans still doubt the team.
